It’s been a while since we last heard about a tentative Final Fantasy 14 live-action series. Turns out it’s because the project doesn’t exist anymore.

Screenwriter Jake Thornton also joined the Twitter thread to add that he thought the show was a victim of the Covid-19 pandemic, as they took out the series pitch “just as studios began to zip up their purse strings.” It’s certainly not the first big project which got shelved during those years or as a direct result of the economic rammificiations of the pandemic.

Meanwhile, Square Enix and the FF14 team are marching ahead with the Dawntrail expansion, which arrives in summer 2024 and promises to take players to the sunny continent of Tural.
